Quite decent aero modelling

I am pretty shure that the work of mr. Guillermo Rojas-Bazan has been presented on this forum, but I just came across  video that might be of interest:

For some more information on his work, check out the Internet Craftmanship Museum:

You also posted the work of a guy in Europe who photo etched his own parts and built absolutely exquisite airplane models. As I recall he was a graphic designer or architect or something. I guess the airplane guys are pretty specialized or some would post here. -- Russ

We airplane guys are nuttier than you board-by-board, concrete and brick-by-brick guys.  We, also, achieve super realism at the risk of insanity.  Fortunately we age and, with that goes the eyesight.   I may soon be comfy just getting a kit together as per the ins... oh, never mind I wouldn't be able to read those.  Do they let you have #11 blade knives in the rubber room?  Probably not.  Sigh.

What I would really like to know is how mr. Bazan fasten his parts together. Glue, solder, pinning? All of the above?
I can not see a trace of solder or glue on his parts. And even with his excellent craftsmanship you should at least be able to spot faint traces from cleaning up solder or glue.

To me it looks like he uses aluminium for his models, and that is not the easiest metal to solder/glue.

Anyone knows?

I surrender no more modelling for me - I think I might take up Stamp collecting or get an allotment and sit in a shed all day with a cup of tea !

I only have one word to say.......WOW

I never realized until now that he does all those fantastic models without using any electric tools! That is truly mind-boggling.
